Good News and Bad News

If all time is eternally present
All time is unredeemable.

— T. S. Eliot, beginning of
    Four Quartets

Groundhog Day
is over.

Today is
American Pie Day.

And there we were all in one place 
A generation lost in space

— American Pie, by Don McLean

“It’s not a space shuttle
launch… it’s sex.”

Addendum of 8:08 PM February 5, 2003:

Appropriate music for this entry,
other than McLean himself,
might be “Orpheus and the Gig from Hell”
on RealAudio at The Walker1812 Files.
